In this episode of No Permission Necessary, Molly Bierman and Jill Griffin dig into what it really means to feel seen, heard, and valued. at home, at work, and in our closest relationships. From the invisible weight of the “mental load” to the loneliness epidemic, they explore why true connection is harder than ever and what gets in the way of it.
Molly and Jill talk about problem-solving versus simply holding space, the way parenthood reshapes connection, and the impact of social media on our ability to feel known. They share stories of family life, marriage, and leadership that show how vulnerability, curiosity, and better questions can change the way we show up for the people around us.
If you’ve ever felt invisible whether in your career, your home, or your friendships this episode is a reminder that connection is possible, but it starts with seeing and being seen.
